I am over at Venus vs. Mars today. If you are interested in what I have to say check out the link. It is a great blog about relationships and the differences between men and women.

For today- I have to say, Hubby has been gone on a business trip for the past 4 days. I am totally jealous. He tells me that he gets super bored and doesn't like to be away from home. I am thinking, though, that he is just trying to make it easier on me by not bragging that he gets to sleep for however long he wants. He can watch movies/tv without interruption. He can basically do whatever he wants and doesn't have to make sure the kids are being taken care of.

I really know what is going on here, though. He is loving going on these trips (even when they are few and far between) and he doesn't want me to suggest the family tags along one of these days. Am I right?

The kids don't like it when daddy leaves. I don't like it when daddy leaves. Luckily they had a lot to do this week to keep them busy. Tee-ball practices and games, activities with friends, helping mom, and all that stuff. Its gone by fast and we can't wait to see daddy this afternoon. I am thinking the kids are going to be jumping all over him, wrestling him and bombarding him with the goings-on of the week. You would think that he had been gone for years. This happens every time and I am just anticipating the excitement. You know what else I am anticipating? Sleep. I am going to go to bed early tonight. I am going to make hubby get up in the middle of the night if they have bad dreams. He can take care of all that so I can get a good night's sleep and maybe I can be a better mom.

Wait- if I do that what will I post for my NPSA meeting tomorrow. Scratch that. In consideration of having a topic to discuss tomorrow I will sacrifice for you and stay up late, get up with the kids all night long, get up early and be completely ornery so that you will be pleasured with some juicy topic for tomorrow's meeting. Isn't that considerate of me?

Theme song- Alone by Heart. Ya, I'm not alone anymore, but I am a child of the 80's and I heart this song.

Kids Say The Darndest Things

Jacob: "Mom, I want to watch the Vegitary of Star Wars."Mom: "I don't know what the Vegitary is, son."Jacob: "You know, where they talk about the movie."Mom: (Oh, the commentary) "Yes, you can watch the Vegitary."

Britin: "Mom, there is a Transformer bug on the stairs."Mom: "Really? What is a Transformer bug."Britin: "Come on, mom, I'll show you."(We went over to the stairs and she pointed to a dead bee on the stairs.)Mom: "A bee?"Britin: "Yes, a baby Transformer bug."(For those who aren't making the connection- don't worry, it took me a long time, too. Bumble Bee- the yellow car. Apparently she heard us call it a bee and Daddy was supposed to pick it up, but hadn't yet. She made the connection by herself and called it a Transformer bug.)

Today (5/20/2008) I was in the car with the 3 youngest kids. As we were on our way home Britin asked why daddy went to "hannah tanna" (her version of Hannah Montana). I said daddy didn't go see Hannah Montana, but that he watches it sometimes with the kids. Jacob and Britin then proceeded to say that they wanted to go with daddy to see Hannah Tanna. It took me awhile to get that they were just confused. Dalen is in Montana this week. They thought we meant that he was seeing Hannah Montana.

Tonight at dinner Britin played air guitar. CUTEST! Dalen asked her if she was going to play guitar when she gets bigger. She said she wants to play the "girl-tar".

Dalen came home and I called the kids into the kitchen to get up to the table. Britin saw me standing there, arms around Dalen, welcoming him home. She looked up at me and this is how the conversation went:Britin: Why are you home, Mom?Me: I don't have to work tonight.Britin: You get to eat dinner with us?Me: Yup.(Then, looking at Daddy..._Britin: Why is Dad home?Me: He is done with work.Britin: He gets to eat dinner, too?Me: Yup.Britin: Both of you??? (with a BIG smile on her face)

Jacob: If it rained Turkeys we would all eat A LOT!

My hair was wet and I was make-up-less but I was dressed. My son looked up at me and said, "Mom, you almost look beautiful." WOW! Almost...missed it by that much!
